As #Google recently announced the end of free unlimited photo storage, I was reminded of one of the lovely startups they killed on the way. “Out of the picture: why the world's best photo startup is going out of business” https://www.theverge.com/2013/11/5/5039216/everpix-life-and-death-inside-the-worlds-best-photo-startup #everpix #monopoly

Nice ☀️ autumn day after couple of days of rain and stormy weather. Must get myself out of the the house today.

@brunoph I think this part of the latest #Mastonaut update is still having some issues. After waking Mac from sleep I need to quit the app before timeline refreshes again.
